Use dry grass and dry firewood, add fire oil to support combustion, and the fire will reach the sky.
Although recently felled trees are not easy to burn, the fire ignited by the dry firewood in the lower layer will quickly dry them out and will not affect their burning. Not to mention that the trees on the nearby hills are mainly pine trees, and the trunks of pine trees are rich in
Flammable rosin and living tree trunks can burn brightly without drying.
The fire on the official road broke out violently and uncontrollably. More than a dozen fires were originally independent, but soon connected to the entire area. The trees and firewood piled up like a hill on the official road burned to the sky in a very short time, with flames and thick smoke billowing.
, you can't get close even dozens of steps away, because the flames are too intense.
What’s even more frightening is that this is the official road in the valley between the two mountains, which is the passage where the wind passes. Even if there is no wind on weekdays, there must be wind in the valley. And because of the difference in temperature, the mountains
Affected by various complex factors such as direction and air flow, the wind in the valley is often irregular. The wind that was blowing along the east valley mouth not long ago becomes a chaotic cyclone the next moment, and even blows from both sides of the valley on the east and west sides.
The wind blew at the same time, causing them to collide and fight in the valley.
At this moment, the unstable wind direction and the chaotic airflow caused by the burning fire showed an extremely irregular wind pattern. This can be seen from the flames of the fire rising into the sky. The sky was more than ten feet high.
The flames started jumping to the west, then to the east, left and right, swaying up and down. Coupled with the huge roar and whistling sound when the flames burned, it gave people the impression that it was not a flame, but a tyrannical devil spreading its teeth and claws. It was violent.
The strong air flow drove the burning branches and leaves and flames flying everywhere, and the grass below the slopes on the east and west sides were quickly ignited. Not to mention that there was a path where kerosene was sprinkled, which was used to ignite the fire.
Even if there is no kerosene to support combustion, the fierce fire will bake the grass within a few dozen steps to the point of dryness. Even if a flame flies into it, it will quickly ignite a fire.
In the time it took less than a cup of tea to burn the fire on the official road, the fire on the official road had already spread to the half-human grassland on the hillside on both sides. The grass on the hillside that had not been cleaned for many years has grown again and again.
One fire was as thick as a carpet. When the fire broke out, it immediately spread all over the mountain and spread quickly with the help of the wind. It also quickly rushed to the forest land on both sides of the hillside.
The sky above the entire valley was soon shrouded in flames and thick smoke. Fly ash and smoke filled the sky, blocking the sunlight and making the surroundings dark and gloomy.
In the forest on the north slope, the bloody hand-to-hand combat has come to an end. The behavior of more than 300 people led by Li Dapeng who rushed to reinforce Lin Hu was indeed a self-inflicted act of throwing himself into a trap. It did not benefit the situation at all. It only delayed the destruction.
Just kill some enemy soldiers. Although hundreds of soldiers fought hard to kill the enemy and were brave and fearless, they were ultimately weak and unable to defy the odds. The Luoyan Army soldiers screamed and fell into a pool of blood one by one. The Jurchen soldiers were killed by the Luoyan Army soldiers.
The fierce resistance aroused the ferocity. Every time a Luoyan Army soldier fell, Zhou
The Jurchens surrounding them all swarmed forward, with maces and crescent knives flying one after another. They cut the fallen Luoyan Army soldiers into pieces with knives, cutting them into bloody pieces. The scene was as frightening as a pack of wolves tearing at flesh and blood.
Trembling and chilling, even the fearless Luoyan Army soldiers felt a chill of fear in their hearts.
There were no less than a dozen wounds on Lin Hu's body, and the armor on his body had been broken in many places. Where the armor was rolled up, his undershirt stained red with blood was exposed. The box of bastards had long been out of ammunition, and Lin Hu held a handle full of
The bloody long knife was trembling slightly due to excessive force.
Beside him, Li Dapeng and the remaining more than a hundred soldiers were all covered in blood. Those who could persist until now were extremely strong soldiers, but at this moment they were at the end of their lives. Although Luo Yan was still alive during the bloody battle.
The eight or nine hundred soldiers of the army killed at least more than 3,000 Jurchens, basically a 1:3 record. But in the end, they were outnumbered and alone, and finally reached the end of the road.
"Brothers, I'm sorry for you. We are afraid that we are going to die here. Lin Hu is incompetent and caused you to spare your lives. Lin Hu will apologize to you. If there is an afterlife, Lin Hu will repay you." Lin Hu looked at it.
Looking at the Jurchen soldiers who were slowly approaching with their swords raised, he said in a deep voice.
Li Dapeng laughed heartily, and the wound on his face that was scratched by the crescent knife rolled over. This smile exposed the flesh and blood of the wound, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
"Hahaha, General Lin Hu, why are you saying these things? My brothers and I came with the intention of dying. I remember that I, Li Dapeng, was oppressed by the government and had no choice but to kill my enemies and fell into the grass and green forest, living in chaos.
It wasn't until I joined the Luoyan Army that I felt a sense of belonging. Marshal Lin and all the generals in the mountain made me admire them greatly. It is my honor, Li Dapeng, to join the Luoyan Army and fight side by side with so many good brothers. Lin Xiao
General, although you are young, you still have the character of Marshal Lin. So what if we die here today? We have done everything we should do. Who does not die in life? Eighteen years later, we will be a good man again.
If there is an afterlife, we will still be brothers."
After Li Dapeng finished speaking, more than a hundred blood-stained Luoyan Army soldiers beside him also shouted: "What Lieutenant Li said is absolutely true, we are not afraid of death. If we are afraid of death, we will not come. General Lin does not need to say those words
, that’s obvious.”
Lin Hu was excited, and said: "You are all my good brothers, and you are all good men of my Luoyan Army. You are right, we are not afraid of death, not to mention that we are here to protect our parents, wives, children and the mountains."
People, it can even be said that we died for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. My uncle Lin Jue once said that everyone is destined to die, and it may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. Even if we die here today, it will be heavier than the death of Mount Tai.
,Yes or no?"
"That's right! We deserve to die." Everyone shouted in unison.
Lin Hu gritted his teeth and raised the Greedy Wolf Sword in his hand and shouted: "Okay, then let us kill some more barbarian jackals before we die.
.kill!"
Lin Hu roared and rushed forward. The soldiers made heart-rending shouts of killing and rushed forward. The Jurchen soldiers thought that these Luoyan Army soldiers were already covered in blood and injured.
They were about to be captured, and they seemed to have no fighting power at all. However, they did not expect that they suddenly charged up, and they were in a hurry. Lin Hu took the lead, shouting and slashing, and more than a hundred soldiers instantly cut down 70 or 80 of the opponent's people.
, there was a tendency to break through. But this was all an illusion. The Jurchen soldiers on both sides rushed quickly and divided the more than 100 people into two teams. In an instant, more than 30 people in the rear fell to the Jurchen mace.
, all of them were slaughtered amidst the screams of misery.
Lin Hu gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward. The ferocious faces of countless Jurchens in front of him became blurry and swaying in his field of vision. The faces of Lin Jue Luwu's parents, his sister, and his wife flashed in his mind. He
Knowing that his time has come, he just wants to recall more of the faces of the people he is most familiar with and close to. He wants to keep these faces in his mind forever, lest he forget them in the next life.
The most important person to you.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" A strange sound came from the forest ahead. The fierce wind mixed with thick smoke and hot air poured in, and the entire forest was soon engulfed in smoke and dust.
Everyone looked in the direction of the wind in panic, but saw flames rising into the sky between the trees on the south side among the smoke, and the crackling fire was igniting the entire forest at an extremely rapid speed. Lin Hu and others were blocked in front of them.
The Jurchen soldiers on the way had already fled in panic to both sides, because the fire was approaching behind them. Soon there were no enemies in front of Lin Hu and others, only the blazing fire coming towards them.
Lin Hu woke up from his confusion, looked at the blazing fire in front of him, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Captain Li, brothers, our time has come. Rather than die in the hands of the Jurchens, it would be better for us to die in the fire. With our bodies, we will add a bundle of firewood to the fire and serve as an interceptor."
Let the Jurchens do their best." Lin Hu said in a deep voice to the people around him.
"Okay, let's listen to General Lin. Whatever you say, we will do it." Dozens of people around him said in unison.
Lin Hu smiled and nodded, inserted the scimitar into his waist, straightened his clothes, and then shouted loudly: "Commander Lin, General Gao, I will not take a step back, and I will die to complete my mission. I am worthy of others."
Lin Hu took a long stride and rushed forward. The tongues of fire rushed towards him. Lin Hu opened his arms, as if embracing the fire, and threw himself into the flames and smoke. The more than forty remaining Luoyan Army soldiers also shouted loudly.
, rushed into the raging flames.
On the side and behind, the Jurchen soldiers witnessed this and were horrified.
"Madmen, these are a group of madmen. Escape, retreat quickly. The fire is coming." The Jurchen soldiers were frightened in their hearts, and without waiting for Alibai's order, they fled from the mountains and forests one after another.
